Brussels – Europe is a deeply interconnected continent. From Vilnius to Lisbon, millions of people depend on roads, railways, airways and waterways for daily travel and trade. The EU has set clear goals for improving road safety, upgrading transport infrastructure, and reducing transport-related emissions.
The European Union plays a significant role in regulating and supporting transport policy across its 27 member states by setting common rules and standards regarding road safety regulations, environmental standards and passenger rights protection.
The EU also provides financial aid to member states for transport infrastructure projects through various mechanisms, such as Cohesion Funds and the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF).
This video explores the EU’s initiatives aimed at improving connectivity across the continent, to promote a safe and sustainable transport system in line with the targets of its Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy as well as the European Green Deal.
The in-depth video also looks at the challenges that lie ahead for the sector. The next few years will be critical in determining whether the EU can meet its targets and create a transport system that is sustainable, safe, and interconnected across all member states.
